With nothing to do, An Moxue drove to the bar street, a place where all sorts of people mingle, making it a good place to gather information.
She found a bar with a red fox pattern on the signboard and went inside.
It was bustling inside, and the lights were dim, so An Moxue went straight to the bar.
Just as the bartender, who looked like an Osiri, was about to say something, An Moxue interrupted him, "A beer, please."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The bartender turned around, handed An Moxue a bottle of beer, opened the cap, and placed it in front of her.
An Moxue took a sip of her drink and asked, "Did you receive any useful information?"
The bartender was somewhat exasperated. He said, "Chief, I've got everything ready. I'll bring it to you in a bit. The upper class in this River Country is no less impressive than that of Osiri, especially when it comes to forbidden love. You'll see for yourself when you get there. I, a member of the underworld, am starting to doubt if I've joined a fake society. They really know how to have fun."
"Do you have a backup?"
The bartender was clearly delighted to see An Moxue: "Don't worry, we have everything."
"Be careful, and remember, life is always the most important thing." She didn't say much, but she knew how difficult things were for them.
After the bartender left, An Moxue turned around with the bottle in her hand, looking around the dimly lit area of the bar, occasionally taking a sip of the drink in her glass.
When the bartender returned, she had finished her drink. He opened another beer for her and took the documents from her hand.
An Moxue put the documents into her pocket. In the dim light, no one noticed their actions. An Moxue picked up the wine bottle and took another sip, saying, "So many people every day? Business is good? What time do you get there?"
"Yes, sometimes there are even more people, until three or four in the morning. These people don't eat, they all have to drink. In Osiri, it's too cold, so they drink strong liquor to keep warm, and they get used to it after a while. But these people are different, I don't know why? However, they rarely drink strong liquor, it's all low-alcohol drinks."
Are you settling in well here?
"fine."
"Work hard. You speak the language of the River Kingdom very well. You can tell from listening that you have studied it carefully."
"The boss said that if you get tired of working in one place, you can apply for a transfer and go to a place you want."
“Your boss understands you. Staying in one place for a few years is like a vacation, isn’t that great? After you’ve worked for the required number of years, you can apply for retirement, and I’ll give you a pension. How about that?”
The bartender was pleasantly surprised tonight: "It's true, the boss didn't say anything!"
“You’re the first to know what I just said. Your boss doesn’t even know yet!” An Moxue looked at him and suddenly thought of this problem. She wanted everyone who worked for her to have a secure old age, no matter where they came from.
"Won't the boss be jealous of me if he hears this?"
"It's okay, we'll just keep it from him." An Moxue finished her last drink, put down the bottle, and said, "I'm leaving, or I'll come back." With that, she waved to the bartender and left the bar.
It's still quite cold outside, and the wind makes you feel exceptionally awake.
She walked to the parking lot and was about to get into her car when a man next to her called out, "Miss, wait a minute, haven't we met before?"
An Moxue glanced at the man, lowered her voice, and said, "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else."
The man said apologetically, "Sorry, it might look somewhat similar."
An Moxue didn't mind and said, "People can look alike, I just mistook you for someone else." After saying that, she got into her car and drove away.
The man muttered to himself, looking in the direction her car had left: "Is that so? But they all don't care about me, that's for sure." This man was none other than the one who had sat next to her at the engagement banquets of the Lu family and the fourth family.
*
The next morning, the fourth head of the family took his brothers to the bank to complete the formalities and sold all the gold bars of the three brothers to the bank at an extremely low price, thus obtaining a large amount of cash.
The fourth and fifth brothers deposited their share of gold bars back into the bank and signed the company's equity transfer agreement. The five brothers then went their separate ways.
The fourth head of the family took his second and third sons to the stock exchange, while the fourth and fifth sons returned home.
At the doorstep, the fourth brother hesitated before asking the fifth brother, "Fifth brother, do you think the company can be saved?" He was still somewhat unwilling to hand over half of his shares, just in case the company could be saved!
"What? Fourth Brother, you regret it? I believe you regret it now. You can still go find Big Brother, but after midnight, it's hard to say."
He knew that when the fifth brother said "eldest brother," he wasn't really calling him "eldest brother." It was more of a sarcastic remark. What could they do? They had such a mother, after all.
"Forget it, what's done is done, why regret it? Let's go." With that, he walked towards the fourth family's manor.
The fifth brother glanced at him, said nothing, and followed him into the manor.
There was a tense atmosphere when the stock exchange opened this morning; no one knew how things would develop.
An Moxue dressed up carefully today and entered the stock exchange with a little follower following behind her. She was clearly an upper-class person.
A staff member approached and bowed, asking, "Miss, would you like a private room?"
"No need, I want to watch the excitement for a while, the lobby is fine."
The staff member was puzzled but didn't ask any further questions. They led her to a seat and left.
The attendant dutifully brought tea and snacks, and An Moxue was in a good mood as she looked at the bustling stock exchange.
When the stock market opened, everyone thought that the Fourth Family had discovered the situation too late yesterday and hadn't had time to do anything, which caused the stock price to fall again and again. However, half an hour after the market opened, the Fourth Family's stock remained unchanged, which puzzled the investors.
Suddenly, large-scale transactions began, and the stock finally changed, soaring all the way up as the fourth trader kept buying the company's stock.
A key employee nearby said, "Master, it's back on track!"
The trader said with some concern, "Master, something's not right. The rebound is too fast!"
Several people stared at the changing curves on the screen, feeling somewhat confused. Was this good or bad?
The fourth head said, "Go in, don't worry about it. The most important thing right now is to regain control."
At the same time, An Moxue was also looking at the graph above and said, "Go, make contact and tell them that someone is trying to take advantage of the situation, and it's a big one at that. Be careful, don't let this fish eat you."
Although the people who came along didn't understand, they carried out the order well and relayed the exact words to Anthony.
Anthony also noticed something amiss and said, "Increase the amount and keep going."
Until 3:30 p.m., the fourth stock had been soaring for a while before steadily rising again. Just when everyone thought the stock would rise further before the close, it suddenly plummeted all the way to the limit down, until the close.
The fourth family member stared dumbfounded at the final number on the screen, muttering, "How could this be? Impossible? It shouldn't be like this."
